adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring tense
The author tells his story of being convicted of a murder he didn‘t commit to serve a life sentence in the prison system in French Guiana. He describes his 8 escapes and punishments as well as friendships and his brief life with Indians. An excellent book.

Eye roll.  Do I believe this bloke innocent, nope. Would some guy who knew these guys were convicted of murder and only known them for 12 hours really leave them with his wife and kids.
